(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); We all know Sony is loosing tons of money due to the outage not to mention the game makers. I doubt many people are buying Socom, B.O. or LB2 when there's no online. Any time a corporation looses money the end user always ends up paying for it. I just wanted to post up and see what everyone else thinks on this. Sure, Sony may give us free dlc when psn comes back online but in what ways down the road so to speak do you think they will try and make their profits back?

Sony carries insurance for this sort of thing, so they will not lose as much as you might think. Usually the policy covers a good amount, and then the company is responsible for losses incurred above the policy. Sony is also a 27 billion dollar company with many divisions including SOE/Playstation, but they are among the smallest. The hit to Sony is not as big as you think. However, they will (as good business do) prove to wall street that this incident has not affected their earnings. They will do this with very subtle increases spread across all their business lines, so the consumer does not really feel the blow. This is usually how large corporations spread out losses (not to mention the tax write off that they will leverage form the losses of the PlayStation division.) IMO



I agree. A map pack that would cost 14.99 will now be upped to 16.99. They might even hold off on discounting some of their hardware as well. Especially during the holidays.

Do or Do Not, There is No Try
I strongly doubt they will charge us for the PSN once it is restored. Sony is already losing customers to XBL at this moment, whether they like it or not. To treat the remaining loyal customers they currently have in such a manner will only dwindle their customer base even more than what the outage has cost. If anything, I see them offering even more free DLC packages and such. Especially, as this outage continues, and even looks to continue for much longer.

PSN will never ever charge for online (in my opinion). I read somewhere that Sony confirmed they would never charge for PSN.
